Conerly started the past two seasons for the Ducks, who won the Big Ten in their first season in the league and earned the No. 1 seed in the first 12-team College Football Playoff. The 6-foot-4, 315-pound Conerly allowed only five total pressures in protecting quarterback Dillon Gabriel, a Heisman Trophy finalist.
ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. lists Conerly as the No. 6 draft-eligible offensive tackle. A Seattle native, Conerly came to Oregon as ESPN’s No. 3 offensive tackle and No. 31 overall recruit in the 2022 class.
As a freshman, Conerly appeared in all 13 games for Oregon and caught a touchdown pass against Colorado. He earned honorable mention All-Pac-12 honors in 2023.
